Subject: [PATCH] mshv: Fix deposit memory in MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL

When the MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL ioctl is executing a hypercall, and gets
HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY, it deposits memory and then returns
-EAGAIN to userspace.

However, it's much easier and efficient if the driver simply deposits
memory on demand and immediately retries the hypercall as is done with
all the other hypercall helper functions.

But unlike those, in MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL the input is opaque to the
kernel. This is problematic for rep hypercalls, because the next part
of the input list can't be copied on each loop after depositing pages
(this was the original reason for returning -EAGAIN in this case).

Introduce hv_do_rep_hypercall_ex(), which adds a 'rep_start'
parameter. This solves the issue, allowing the deposit loop in
MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL to restart a rep hypercall after depositing pages
partway through.
